If they are using jquery UI, then there is a small fix addon called "touch punch" which repairs it. A similar approach should work for other libraries. You need to handle the "touch" events in addition to "mousedow

The answer is cryptography. You need to have the client encrypt everything before sending it to the server, removing even the option for wrongdoing. This only works if the client is a program, app, or browser extension that the users can

The interesting thing about the screenshot is that it says "Local PCs", as in PCs on the LAN. This would be incredible and I wish everyone would do the same thing. Especially Steam. Imagine what a problem it is when you want to

I have three Desktops with an nvidia card that haven't had a problem. On Ubuntu DKMS recompiles the nvidia blob loader whenever the kernel is updated. What operating system are you on? Did you install the proprietary drivers by hand?

Really you'd want to compare EC2 and real hardware, not AWS and real hardware. AWS as a total package comes with a great many services, and if you're using more than a few of them then it can require a great deal of engineering t

I wonder if it's time to stop requiring address and phone number information in the WHOIS information. Unless registrars are required to verify it with a confirmation letter and phone call, there isn't much guarantee that the inf

The nice thing from backblaze's perspective and their customers is that downtime is far more tolerable than it would be for most businesses. Most disasters that are going to impact a data center aren't going to destroy the physic

Getting rid of RAID makes things a lot easier since you don't have to suffer through rebuilds, which causes a lot of I/O for the entire RAID. You still have to repopulate the drive, but you have fine-grained control of when to do

Also worth seeing is Google's Location History. For me it has come in handy a number of times when I'm trying to figure out the exact time I left or arrived somewhere. https://maps.google.com/locationhistory/

I feel the same way. In the 90s you'd find small businesses (and some larger ones!) built entirely on a single Access database on a network share. At the current small business where I work, we use google sheets instead, and it leave

Would it work to have the data structures be copy-on-write? That way if the worker only reads then it's O(1), you just pass a reference to the worker. I imagine it'd be a pain to write a garbage collector for something like that.

You could even set your servers to TAI and adjust for leap seconds in your app, so that you don't have to worry about timestamps going backwards during leap seconds.

You're right that you can't get a diff of a large binary (or even a small one). It's still useful to know when the file changed and who changed it. For example, imaging you work at a video production company where you have v

I feel that once a web UI is updating at 60 fps, it's at native speed. While it's true that the native components could theoretically update at 600 fps, the screen doesn't refresh that fast. In other words, it's possibl

I should have been more clear. The problem is that zbackup won't work for large data sets. For example, I used to use rdiff-backup for a samba filesystem at work that had a few terabytes of files on it. The problem was that whenever

It so happens that I found zbackup in the list of apt packages just yesterday. It doesn't have network support like attic, so you have to transport the entire repository of data to the backup server in order to make a backup. In pract
